美國(guó)財(cái)政部18日公布的初步統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，今年6月大幅減持170億美元美債后，中國(guó)7月轉(zhuǎn)而小幅增持26億美元美債，目前仍是美國(guó)最大的債主。

Washington (CNS) – China slightly increased its holdings of U.S. bonds by $2.6 billion worth of treasury securities in July, according to statistics released Tuesday by the U.S. Treasury Department.

With a total holding of nearly $1.15 trillion, China remains the largest creditor of the United States, the data showed.

China only increased its U.S. debt holdings in two months in the first half of this year, showing a pullback trend, analysts pointed out.

Japan, the second-largest lender to the U.S., increased $27.3 billion worth of treasury securities over the first half of this year. The gap between China and Japan is shrinking when it comes to the amount held.
